Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself.

When we move across a period in the periodic table then there occurs an increase in the electronegativity of the elements because of decrease in their atomic size.

This is because electrons add to the same sub-shell and due to electrostatic force of attraction from the nucleus they get pulled closer towards the nucleus leading to shrinkage in size.

And, smaller is the size of an atom more readily it will attract an electron.

Therefore, we can conclude that electronegativity increases across a period.

4. Magnesium and oxygen undergo a chemical reaction to

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

About 16.1 grams of oxygen gas.

Explanation:

The reaction between magnesium and oxygen can be described by the equation:
$\displaystyle 2\text{Mg} + \text{O$_2$} \longrightarrow 2\text{MgO}$

24.4 grams of Mg reacted with O₂ to produce 40.5 grams of MgO. We want to determine the mass of O₂ in the chemical change.

Compute using stoichiometry. From the equation, we know that two moles of MgO is produced from every one mole of O₂. Therefore, we can:

Convert grams of MgO to moles of MgO.
Moles of MgO to moles of O₂
And moles of O₂ to grams of O₂.

The molecular weights of MgO and O₂ are 40.31 g/mol and 32.00 g/mol, respectively.

Dimensional analysis:

$\displaystyle 40.5\text{ g MgO} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol MgO}}{40.31\text{ g MgO}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol O$_2$}}{2\text{ mol MgO}} \cdot \frac{32.00\text{ g O$_2$}}{1\text{ mol O$_2$}} = 16.1\text{ g O$_2$}$

In conclusion, about 16.1 grams of oxygen gas was reacted.

You will obtain the same result if you compute with the 24.4 grams of Mg instead:

$\displaystyle 24.4\text{ g Mg}\cdot \frac{1\text{ mol Mg}}{24.31\text{ g Mg}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol O$_2$}}{1\text{ mol Mg}} \cdot \frac{32.00\text{ g O$_2$}}{1\text{ mol O$_2$}} = 16.1\text{ g O$_2$}$

Which of the following shows a valid combustion reaction?

marta [7]

Answer: C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O

Explanation:

2Al + 2O2 → 2AlO + O2 Not Balanced Properly: 2Al + O2 = 2AlO

C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O Looks Good

2CH4 + O2 → 2CO + 4H2 Not Correct: CO should be CO2

Ca + O2 → CaOH Not Balanced and No source for the H
